12. 2010 Plans and Priorities
 SLIPP E, C & E priorities remain: public safety, foreshore habitat, water quality
 Increased presence on the lakes during busy season
 Implement stakeholder engagement plan
 CSRD foreshore & water zoning bylaws ongoing to cover entire Shuswap &
Mara Lake – covers docks and mooring buoys
 Actions under Forests and Range Act to address ATV use in wetlands
 Increased dye testing for black water discharge
 Noise
 ILMB & DFO new and replacement commercial and strata marinas to comply
with updated guidelines for

– Education, awareness and compliance promotion
– Working with contractors and landowners in the spring before lake reaches high water
mark
– Visits to ongoing high-priority violation sites for follow-up
 DFO 3 Patrols: Easter weekend, April, May long weekend

14. Progress Report

15. What kinds of impacts?

16.  buildings and associated
effects (example: septic
field leakage)
 docks
 buoys

17.  sand (from clearing a beach or
adding sand)
 gravel (from clearing)
 milfoil

18. the impacts manifest at the scale of
populations

19.  Impacts
 littoral zone- shallow productive area
(we can find fish habitat area)
 known spawning (char, sockeye)
 potential spawning/rearing habitat

20. A simple, updatable system for
considering impacts at the proper
scale.

21. Littoral
zone
Littoral = lighted = shallow
productive part of the lake

29. Blind
Bay

30. and grabbed the values in the littoral
zone
Took the impacts
to get areas of shallow
productive lake....

31. Low impact High impact

32. 33% in 5-12

33. Class 5
Class 7
Class 12
Class 0

36. Human Sand/gravel
habitation included (not
impacts very good for
alone char)

37. Some data missing

38.  the input data (ideally has to be complete and
high confidence)
 the mathematical logic (has to be reasonable)
 the assumptions for weighting the impacts
(well understood what you are assuming)
 how the resulting map is presented to the
user (red looks scarier than yellow or
green...education about the tool is important)

39.  input more spawning data
 model suitable habitat for char and
sockeye
 update milfoil layer
 add other impacts ( ex. industry, linear
corridors)
 correct some missing data (buoys and
milfoil)
 field check the littoral zone

40.  assist and encourage good management
 consolidates all the information in one
place
 clarify the assumptions
 force you to acknowledge information
gaps
 are almost always better than no model
(as long as people understand the limits)
